Testimonials

Highly, highly recommend this script. Extremely customizable and the possibilities are endless. Thomas is also very responsive if you happen to run into any issues. - bradcauchy

I bought this kit without ever having used After Effects before, so it was a bit of a learning curve, but Thomas was a great help and answered many questions very promptly. The results are so fun, even with minimal “customizing”. Really having a good time with this app! - Osoenerljs

One of the best effects I’ve seen and very flexible. The programmer spent a lot of time putting this together, with features that give you many options to create a more effective ‘storm’, including color, length, amount of particles. etc. You don’t need a special plugin to run it, and yet it looks like you spent hours building particle effects. A great buy all around! - PhilipHowe

Everything is amazingly well organized, and the quality of end results is stunning. - T-10

Outstanding product. Outstanding value. Easy to use and customer support is on point. Love the product, more than pays for itself with one use. If you’re savvy with After Effects you’ll find multiple uses. If you’re not you’ll do well as it’s pretty intuitive once you’ve watched the tutorial. - mhendry
